Title: Scam coin charity fund idea Post by: dubiousfrog on October 09, 2014, 08:21:50 AM "Scam Coin Charity, because shitcoins happen (tm)"
What do you guys think about starting a scam coin charity fund to help those who have fallen victim to scam coins? 1. Accept BTC donations 2. Identify scam coins and accept victim registration 3. Verification process for victims (verify how much BTC they lost in the scam) 4. Distribute donated funds evenly and fairly It seems like it could be challenging, but also doable? thoughts?

So... let developers scam the community members, and then collect donations from other community members? What's the point? Instead, find out real identity of SCAM developers, make them spit out all scammed BTC, send those BTC to cancer society. Or better yet - spread awareness in community to stop people from investing in SCAM coins in first place.

A dev could simply create a shill, pay himself a ton of BTC, and claim to be "scammed" by his own scam.
So no. Title: Re: Scam coin charity fund idea Post by: caga on October 09, 2014, 07:16:50 PM This does not seem like a useful idea. And I doubt people want to donate more coins after a scam happens, as that won't fix anything.

However, spreading awareness doesn't help people who have already been scammed / continue to be scammed. making scam devs donate btc to cancer society? good luck no one would be required to donate, some might sympathize / want to donate? I think it could be challenging to verify the user was scammed etc, however I don't think a dev would create a scam coin just to get their investment back through a charity fund? seems like devs already made $$$ on the initial scam / p&d... |
